Project File Number: PR18-000397
Project Name: Badminton America Renton
Land Use File Number: LUA18-000572
Project Manager: Matt Herrera, Senior Planner
Owner: Glen Dea, Green Pine 8, LLC, 846 Lind Ave S, Renton, WA 98055
Applicant/Contact: Paul Wu, Wu Architecture, 8817 NE 116th Pl, Kirkland, WA 98034
Project Location: 846 Lind Ave S, Renton, WA 98055
Project Summary:
The applicant is requesting a Tier 2 Temporary Use Permit, Environmental (SEPA)
Review, and Parking Modification for the change of use of the north portion of an
existing 47,421 square foot distribution warehouse that is currently vacant to an indoor
recreational facility. The indoor recreational facility would provide a membership-based
badminton club with 12 playing courts and an accessory office space and pro shop
within the 24,976 square foot north portion of the existing warehouse. The project site
totals 1.34 acres and is located within the Medium Industrial (IM) zoning classification
and Employment Area (EA) land use designation. Indoor recreational facilities are not
currently permitted in the IM zone; therefore, the applicant has requested the Tier 2
Temporary Use Permit. No exterior building or site construction is proposed at this time.
Proposed improvements would be to the existing building's interior. The existing asphalt
parking and loading area would provide 77 parking spaces. Two existing driveways on
the site with access to Lind Ave SW would remain unaltered. The applicant has
requested a parking modification for a reduction in the minimum required number of
parking spaces. A seismic hazard area is mapped on the project site.

PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project
impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials:
Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period.
B. Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are recommended.

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the
applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction
with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following
probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: A seismic hazard area is mapped on the project site. No expansion of the building footprint
(Exhibits 2 and 3) is proposed and all improvements are internal and limited to the individual tenant
space; therefore, the applicant was not required to submit a geotechnical report with the formal land
use application. It is anticipated that the City’s currently adopted building codes would adequately
mitigate for any impacts that could result from the proposed tenant improvements; therefore, no
further mitigation is recommended.
Mitigation Measures: None recommended.
Nexus: Not applicable.
2. Transportation
Impacts: A Traffic Analysis Memorandum, prepared by Gibson Traffic Consultants dated June 12, 2018
(Exhibit 4), was submitted with the land use application. The memorandum details trip generation and
transportation impact fee calculations for the proposed change of use from warehouse to indoor
recreation facility.
The trip generation calculations are based on data collected at a badminton club located in Mukilteo,
data contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, and testimony
of expected operations. The memorandum’s analysis has determined the previous warehouse use
contained 43 average daily trips with five (5) of those trips occurring in the weekday PM Peak Hour. The
proposed badminton club would generate 64 average daily trips with nine (9) PM peak hour trips. By
City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee Report
Badminton America Renton LUA18-000572
Report of September 17, 2018 Page 3 of 3
SR_ERC_Report_Badminton
providing credit for the previous warehouse use, the net new trips resulting from the proposed
badminton club would be 21 net new daily trips with four (4) PM peak hour trips. The proposal will be
required to undergo the City’s Traffic Concurrency Test, which is based upon a test of the citywide
Transportation Plan, consideration of growth levels included in the LOS-tested Transportation Plan, and
future payment of appropriate Transportation Impact Fees.
The subject property contains a surface parking area along the north and east portion of the site. Its
recent use has been primarily for outdoor storage and truck loading associated with previous warehouse
use. The proposed site plan identifies the surface parking area contains 77 parking spaces for the
portion of the warehouse that will be used for the badminton club and 17 spaces for the remaining
southern portion of the warehouse.
The applicant submitted a Parking Analysis Memorandum, prepared by Gibson Traffic Consultants dated
July 20, 2018 (Exhibit 5). The parking calculations from the analysis are based on data from a racquet
court sport club, data from the ITE Parking Generation Manual, and testimony of expected operations.
Average parking demand for the site is anticipated at 3.56 spaces per court with an 85th Percentile
Demand of 4.13 spaces per court. The analysis recommends parking to accommodate the average
demand of 3.56 spaces per court. The applicant proposes 12 courts within the building resulting in a
parking demand of 43 spaces. The 85th Percentile parking demand would result in a parking demand of
50 spaces. The applicant has submitted a modification to reduce the minimum parking requirements for
“other recreational” uses which require a minimum and maximum of 1 per occupant based upon 50% of
the maximum occupant load as established by the adopted Building and Fire Codes of the City of
Renton. The requested parking modification would be required to meet modification criteria and the
decision would be issued with the Temporary Use Permit.
Mitigation Measures: None recommended.
Nexus: Not applicable.
E. Comments of Reviewing Departments
The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers. Where applicable, their comments
have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or “Advisory Notes to Applicant” (Exhibit 6)
Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and may be attached to this report.
The Environmental Determination decision will become final if the decision is not appealed within the 14-day
appeal period (RCW 43.21.C.075(3); WAC 197-11-680).
Environmental Determination Appeal Process: Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in

Subject: Badminton America Traffic Analysis
Date: June 12, 2018
Project #: 18-130
This traffic analysis summarizes the trip generation and traffic mitigation fee calculations for the
Badminton America development. The development is proposed to convert 24,976 SF of existing
building space from warehouse to a badminton club. The badminton club is proposed to have 12
courts. The building is located on the east side of Line Avenue SW, south of SW 7th Street. A site

1. TRIP GENERATION CALCULATIONS
The trip generation calculations for the Badminton America development are based on data collected
at a similar site in the City of Mukilteo, data contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’
(ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition (2017) and testimony of expected operations.
1.1. Proposed Badminton Use
PM peak-hour data was collected by the independent count firm Traffic Data Gathering (TDG) in
May 2018 at the Harbour Pointe Badminton Club in Mukilteo, Washington. The Harbour Point
Badminton Club was chosen since it has the same number of courts (12) and is in a building with
similar square-footage. The counts were performed between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM on a Tuesday and
a Wednesday. The count data at the existing Harbour Pointe Badminton Club is summarized in Table
1.
Table 1: PM Peak-Hour Trip Generation Summary – Existing Site
Day Trips Inbound % Outbound %
Tuesday
May 1, 2018 10 80% 20%
Wednesday
May 2, 2018 14 93% 7%
Average 12 87% 13%
The gross trip generation shown in Table 1 does not account for any pass-by trips, which are trips
currently traveling on the roadways along the development’s frontage. A pass-by reduction of 25%
has been applied to the trip generation for the site to determine the trips that would be required to pay
mitigation fees. This pass-by rate has been capped at a realistic 25% even though some jurisdictions
in the Puget Sound area identifies a pass-by rate of 54% for health club uses and GTC conducted a
pass-by study in the City of Bothell which showed pass-by rates as high as 59% for health clubs. The
site is located along an arterial and is between two arterials. A 25% pass-by reduction should therefore
be applicable for this site.
The Harbour Pointe Badminton Club generates 1 gross trip per court. The proposed development will
have the same number of courts (12) and is therefore anticipated to generate 12 gross PM peak-hour
trips and 9 net PM peak-hour trips after a 25% pass-by reduction. This would result in the site
generating 9 net PM peak-hour trips, 8 inbound trips and 1 outbound trip. The count data is included
in the attachments.
The daily trip generation of the site is based on a comparison to ITE Land Use Code 490, Tennis
Courts. The ratio of daily to PM peak-hour trips for ITE Land Use Code 490 is 7.2 daily trips to 1
PM peak-hour trip. The proposed Badminton Court is therefore anticipated to generate 86 gross
average daily trips, which is 64 net average daily trips after a 25% pass-by reduction. The ITE data is
included in the attachments.

1.2. Existing Use
The badminton use will replace 24,976 SF of warehouse use. The credit for the existing warehouse
use is based on ITE Land Use Code 150, Warehouse. The trip generation of the existing warehouse
use is summarized in Table 2.

The trip generation data for ITE Land Use Code 150 is included in the attachments.
1.3. New Trip Generation
The new trips that will be generated by the badminton use have been calculated by subtracting the
trips generated by the existing warehouse use from the proposed badminton trips. The summary of
the new trip generation is included in Table 3.

with 4 net new PM peak-hour trips after pass-by reductions and credit for the existing warehouse
operations being removed. The development will not meet the thresholds identified in the City of
Renton Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis of New Development (200 daily trips and 20
peak-hour trips) to require a fill traffic impact analysis.

2. TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE CALCULATIONS
The traffic impact fees or the Badminton America development are based on the estimated cost per
trip end of $3,572.93 provided by City of Renton staff. The Badminton America development is
anticipated to generate 4 net new PM peak-hour trips, resulting in a total traffic impact fee of
$14,291.72.

Subject: Badminton America Parking Analysis
Date: July 20, 2018
Project #: 18-130
This traffic analysis summarizes the parking generation for the Badminton America development.
The development is proposed to convert 24,976 SF of existing building space from warehouse to a

1. PARKING GENERATION CALCULATIONS
The parking generation calculations for the Badminton America development are based on data
collected at a similar racquet sport sites, data contained in the latest Institute of Transportation
Engineers’ (ITE) Parking Generation, 4th Edition and testimony of expected operations.
1.1. Proposed Badminton Use
Badminton activity consist of either singles or doubles, meaning up to 4 people maximum on a court
at the same time. This is similar to a tennis court. Additionally, a foursome will typically include 2 to
3 of the players carpooling since friends and/or family typically play together. Adult lessons are
typically individual lessons. Youth lessons are group lessons, but parents typically drop-off the youth
before the lesson and pick-up the youth after the lesson. Badminton America uses a parking
calculation of 3 spaces per court to accommodate maximum parking demand at its various locations.
1.2. New Parking Generation
The parking demand that will be generated by the badminton use has been calculated based on the
number of courts. The parking generation data for ITE Land Use Code (LUC) 490, Tennis Courts,
and ITE Land Use Code (LUC) 491, Racquet/Tennis Club, has been used in the parking calculations.
It is important to data for ITE LUC 491 (Racquet/Tennis Club) included ancillary facilities such as
swimming pool, sauna, weight rooms, snack bar, etc. The data for ITE LUC 491 is therefore likely to
be more conducive to longer stays and multiple activities; unlike ITE LUC 490 (Tennis Courts) that
has greater similarities to the single primary use at the proposed badminton facility. ITE data for
weekday and weekend periods is summarized in Table 1.
Table 1: ITE Parking Data Summary
Period Average Parking Demand 85th Percentile Parking Demand
Saturday LUC 490
(Tennis Courts) 2.50 per court 3.16 per court
Weekday LUC 491

Saturday LUC 491
(Racquet/Tennis Club) 2.0 per court 2.0 per court
The ITE Parking Generation data is included in the attachments.
2. CONCLUSION
GTC recommends a parking demand of 3.56 per court to accommodate the maximum anticipated
parking demand based on existing ITE data for similar sites and the testimony experience at the
Mukilteo and Bellevue club. The Badminton America use is anticipated to result in the maximum
parking demand of 43 spaces for the 12 courts.
